[sword-devel] Windows CE updates

[Troy A. Griffitts]

Johan,
	I have been cursing CE for the last 2 days :)  I always was getting 
your error dialog box in open: file: /Program File/sword/mods.conf could 
not be open.
Sometimes I'd get error 0, which means it was successful??? Sometimes 
all kinds of other errors.  So, after trying EVERYTHING, I figured using 
the native FileCreate, CloseHandle, ReadFile, SetFilePointer calls would 
probably be preferred, and they actually worked for me.  I'm getting an 
error in the stl map template now, but am trying to work it out.  If you 
want, join me on irc.freenode.net #sword and we can chat about it.  If 
you think the older file io routines are better, and can show me how to 
make them work, let's roll my changes back.  I'll keep ya posted.  I've 
been creeping forward, so hope to have it working soon.

	-Troy.
